lyrics

The world has gone bananas
It’s like honkey tonk music
Played with untuned pianos
It’s like a piñata
Filled with hollow tipped bullets
Or a tropical cruise
Where you need work permits

We have body armor where
There should be softness
An ocean-sized think tank
That’s so often thoughtless
An online meat market
That says that it’s Cupid
And so much content
That’s insufferably stupid

But there’s a fair share of good
As well
Don’t let it destroy you
Try instead to dwell

On grandmothers knitting
Richard Scary pajamas
Enlightened comedians
And sagacious dramas
How apple and twitter
Have made us world-wide neighbors
And the inventions of our time
Do us a boat-load of favors

How science gives us health
And art gives us voice
How the law of the land
Supports the freedom of choice
How opportunity knocks
Again and again
And we are allowed
To make a family of friends

While life today can be so complex
If we follow the law of cause and effects
We can turn a world that
Feels like it’s capsizing
Into something so wonderfully
Great and surprising

If we can just get some perspective
On how to love and how to live
We can hide a banana
In a hotdog on a plate
And live out our lives
For goodness’ sakes
